Yes, someone with just a slight knowledge of the news knows where the individuals were from - and also where they were based from while planning their attacks, or received their support and training.

Congratulations.

Who attacked us from Iraq?
Nobody in Yemen attacked "us" and nobody in Afghanistan attacked "us".

What country are you from to use the word "us"?

First, we do not need UN approval for any actions (military) we take. We ARE NOT under useless nation control

Second - as other have very correctly stated, we are not at war with Yemen. We are assisting them to route out Al Queida - and the Congress did authorize the military to route out Al Queida. The country of Yemen asked for our help.

We are giving it.

The UN is and has been a joke for years. We always have to go it alone then get sh*t for it.
Who was here to help us out after 911--? RP
